Need a handy-dandy graph to show the exponential growth[edit]

Hi, y'all. My cousins are in Oklahoma and believe the media are overdoing their reporting on coronavirus. I decided to give them and other Oklahomans some statistics. In other articles (2020 coronavirus pandemic in Costa Rica, 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Italy) there is a graph that shows the day-by-day increase in the number of cases. Could someone add such a graph to this article? DBlomgren (talk) 19:33, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for the chart. I've updated the data to reflect totals from the OSDH. From March 17th on there were two fewer cases 9in the chart) than what the OSDH states. DBlomgren (talk) 17:51, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does the chart need to be so huge?--Dcheagle • talk • contribs 10:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine to me; how much smaller do you want it to be? Also look at the chart for Italy. Somehow they managed to format it so that one can view it by month. I mention this so that you'll know that as time goes on, it won't have to get "huger." DBlomgren (talk) 01:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lethality by gender and age?[edit]

Anyone willing to add a table like Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Italy medical cases based on data at https://coronavirus.health.ok.gov/sites/g/files/gmc786/f/weekly_epidemiology_report_-_5-8-20.pdf? Ain92 (talk) 15:24, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Created (though probably needs visual touch up by a more experienced user). LitaCChristopher (talk) 11:06, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020 changes[edit]

@ViperSnake151: You just made a lot of changes. Can you briefly explain what you did?

Also, you removed {{COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/Oklahoma medical cases chart}}. In addition to a brief overview of your changes, can you say why you removed this? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:42, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay that might have been an error. But what I was trying to do was standardize the format to something similar to COVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan, moving all the response information into a specific section with more detail, and adding more on the kerfuffle involving the Tulsa campaign rally (which I was shocked wasn't mentioned here). I think the timeline needs a rewrite too because it reads off more like a blow-by-blow when that could easily be expressed as a graph instead. ViperSnake151 Talk 15:15, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
